She explained it to me yesterday evening, when Mr Marvolo did not appear on the train as expected. Hermione seems to believe that the two events - the journal's failure and the barrier's failure - may be connected; however, I haven't the faintest idea of why or how this could be the case. More likely Marvolo's journal simply had a weak spell somewhere in its workings and it simply couldn't stand up to the strain of constant use.
